Dr Nataliya Deyneka-Dupriez, of Lessmüller Lasertechnik, describes the benefits that OCT can bring to weld monitoring, and highlights how the technology is starting to find applications in e-mobility
A collaborative project including partners from research and industry has developed a laser machine that triples the rate at which embossing tools can be structured for use in the automotive industry
Lasers are the tool of choice for many demanding tasks in material processing. But how to create the optimum beam profile? How can the quality of the laser beam and the processing result be analyzed or even continuously monitored during the process? What technologies are available on the market and are they suitable for my requirements? And what experiences have other users already had?
This workshop will show the current techniques available for beam shaping, analysis and monitoring, and the experiences that users have had with these techniques
Following his presentations at AKL and LASYS, Thibault Bautze, sales manager at Blackbird Robotersysteme, describes the benefits of using optical coherence tomography to assist remote welding applications
Matthew Dale looks at what can be achieved by combining robots with lasers, including a novel tool for repairing jet engines being developed by Rolls-Royce
